Nutrition to fuel your fitness needs

In terms of vitamin and mineral supplements, typical recommendations tend to encourage people to take more supplements than they need, vitamins they already get enough of in their diets. In general, you shouldnt take supplements the body doesnt need. The StoneFit Diet recommends only calcium and vitamin D for women. These are the two most important nutrients for bone health.
